Jaap received his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Amsterdam. He specialized in Ecology and Population Genetics. From 1991, he shifted mainly to metaphysical studies. These studies focused on crystal skulls, the human energy system, Earth energies, and their interactions (Metaphysical Ecology). Within these studies, there is an emphasis on consciousness and the effect of consciousness on Earth energies. As a result of these studies, he connected with subtle worlds and subtle beings, like Dragons, Unicorns, Nature Spirits, Sidhe, and Higher-dimensional Star Beings. These connections resulted in a deeper understanding of many subtle Beings and their roles and functions, leading to many articles, five books, and many workshops.
He believes that Mother Earth is the best source of information for understanding the visible and invisible (subtle) worlds. We can find information about everything that happened on the Earth, including the full potential of the Earth and all life in the grids and fields the Earth holds. The key to understanding all aspects of this world is learning to connect with these information systems and translate the information into something we can understand and share.
Jaap came to the United States in 1998 and currently lives with his wife Jeanne Michaels in the Sedona, Arizona, area. He has written two books on crystal skulls, a book on his connections with the Sidhe (Birth of a New Consciousness), a book on Earth Energies (Gifts of Mother Earth), and a book on Dragons (Dragons: Guardians of Creative Powers. Becoming a Conscious Creator). His website is https://centermetaeco.com.
Workshop title: Conscious Co-Creation with Dragons
Most people know Dragons from fantasy stories and movies. Dragons have a strong attraction because of the mystery and magic surrounding them.
There is no doubt that Dragons are connected to magic. However, it is still difficult for most people to believe that they are real and existing beings. They are not visible, subtle beings who are willing to help us become conscious creators. But if we want their support, we need to connect with them and be open to their energies.
In this workshop, we will look at the five groups of Dragons consisting of 45 different species.
Each of them supports us in using the various aspects of the elemental powers that optimally develop a conscious creator. We will look at their deep connections with Mother Earth and the star system of Cassiopeia.
We will especially connect with the group of Dragons that most people consciously or subconsciously work with. We are all creators, but by working with this group of Dragons, we become more aware of their qualities and abilities and, through them, the steps needed to be a conscious creator.
Through guided meditation, we will connect deeper with the steps of conscious creation and connect with the Dragons that guide that process to contribute more optimally to the evolution process of Mother Earth.
“In my life I have been acquiring alchemical maps to navigate mystery, lessons in how to attune my ‘little ears’ to hear untold stories, and shamanic knowledge to administer spiritual nectars for soul wounds.
My work history spans diverse experiences, interests and competences from the healing arts, and the arts & crafts world. I draw my knowledge from geomancy (earth energy work), European shamanism and deep ecology. My skill-set provides a deep perspective for transformational work, and in working with soul searching questions. Over the years I have worked with artists, storytellers, dreamers, teachers and conservationists among many others, and together we have practiced how to perceive the subtle aspects of place, lending our voice to different landscapes as part of an evolving ecological awareness.” www.earth-speaks.net
Workshop title: Dragon and Serpent Powers
What can we learn about telluric forces from the way dragons and serpents are depicted in Greek mythology? (and maybe other cultures depending on time and interest) In this workshop we will hear various stories of powerful dragons and serpentine monsters who were known as Chthonic beings in the Greek cosmology.
Through meditative and imaginative experiences we shall connect with the raw creative powers of various types of landscape and water dragons. We shall explore what we can glean about these subterranean spirits from an earth energy point of view, and we will ask ourselves why some cultures have deeply revered these powers while other cultures have been afraid of them and tried to annihilate them.

Workshop Title: Dragon Crystal Skulls
Dragons are the guardians of the leylines which are the Earth energy lines that run along the surface of Mother Earth. They are connected to all the Elements and more and more different dragons are coming to work with humanity again as part of the Ascension process. They are wise guides to have as part of your spiritual team! Working with a Dragon Crystal Skull facilitates our connection with these powerful beings.
